Uvalde and the Problem of Evil

Uvalde and the Problem of Evil
Wed Jun 1, 2022Daniel Greenfield

The problem with evil is that it requires us to believe in good.

Modern people are unwilling to believe in G-d, and so they believe instead in government. And they are convinced that the god of government can fix everything if we only give it the power.

The trouble is that while people may not believe in evil, evil very much believes in them.
